  • Description

    Possessed of an irrepressible self-confidence and insatiable appetite for power, Roosevelt made an unconvincing show of stepping out of the spotlight when he declined to seek reelection in 1909, bequeathing the presidency to loyal foot soldier William Howard Taft. Over the course of Taft’s one rather lackluster term, Roosevelt embarked on an extended African safari (where the trailblazing conservationist slaughtered hundreds of animals), but upon his return he became embroiled in a battle with Taft for the heart of the Republican Party.

The Presidency Of William Howard Taft,

  • The Presidency Of William Howard Taft,

  • Attribution

    by Paolo E. Coletta

  • Publication Details

    Book, University Press of Kansas, 1973

  • Description

    Theodore Roosevelt selected William Howard Taft to be his successor and gave him vital support during the presidential campaign of 1908. Taft agreed with many of Roosevelt’s objectives, but not with his interpretation of presidential authority. As Taft saw it, his function as president was to establish a legal basis for the reforms undertaken by Roosevelt, not to enlarge the degree of federal intervention in the economic and social life of the nation. Ironically, a greater number of progressive reforms were accomplished in Taft’s four years in office than in Roosevelt’s seven. When viewed in the era of transition from Rooseveltian to Wilsonian progressivism, Taft is best remembered as a constitutional conservator. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
